Yes, there's definitely worse out there.
But this is still worth fighting. It's a bellwether for more restrictive age+identity verification laws, and those should not exist in the US. The gov't shouldn't have any say in what I compute the same way they shouldn't have any say in what I discuss using the mail. This is a clear step away from that and it's important to make that clear to lawmakers now so they don't use this as evidence the populace is ok with something stronger.
